"Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez wants to make something clear: The U.S. will inevitably end up paying for the effects of climate change, which already disproportionately impact marginalised communities. The question is when and how.
During a meeting of the House Committee on Financial Services on Tuesday, Republican Rep. Sean Duffy said Democrats are only interested in helping "rich liberals" and called Ocasio-Cortez's Green New Deal "absolutely outrageous." The landmark proposal seeks to address climate change and income inequality, but has often been subject of mocking by Republicans, who believe it to be illogical.
Regardless, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell forced a vote on the Green New Deal resolution Tuesday, without a hearing. The goal was to force Democrats to take a public stance on the legislation, but Republicans wasted no time before mocking it. During debate, Sen. Mike Lee presented a series of posters showing everything from President Ronald Reagan riding a velociraptor to Star Wars scenes, arguing they were more realistic than the Green New Deal. He also said his solution to fight climate change is for people to have more babies. In protest of the vote, which Democrats called a sham, 43 senators voted "present" and the procedural motion failed. (Sens. Doug Jones, Joe Manchin, and Kyrsten Sinema broke with the party and voted against the resolution.)"
